The manufacturing debate: Single-use vs. stainless steel

25 Oct 2024

Single-use technologies (SUT) and stainless steel are two widely used options in bioproduction. Evaluating which material to use in terms of sustainability, flexibility, scale, and cost is essential to choose the best fit for a specific application.

With the therapeutic landscape evolving to focus on higher-yields in smaller volumes. Thermo Scientific™ outline the advantages and disadvantages of single-use technologies and stainless steel systems to weigh up the optimal option for performance, adaptability, and economics.

Bioprocessing / FermentationBioprocessing is the use of biological materials to perform commercial, scientific or medical research processes. Biological materials used include cells, enzymes and organisms. Usually bioprocessing requires a batch or continuous bioreactor such as a fermentor or cell culture system. The advantages of using a reactor include high productivity, easy configuration, adjustable values and automation.Cell GrowthCell growth refers to the process by which cells increase in size and number. It is essential for tissue development, wound healing, and cancer research. Understanding and controlling cell growth is a fundamental part of cell biology and regenerative medicine.
